### "Lifeline for a busy creative team with no budget"

July 30, 2020

4.0

Freedcamp allows me to easily organize upwards of 400 projects a year with anywhere from 8-20 tasks per project while providing an easy view for my team of the various tasks they need to take on each day.

Pros

Even as a free user, the Freedcamp team does not hesitate to provide me with support when I need it and even helps me to improve my processes with workarounds for features that are available in the paid product.

Cons

I would like to have more ability to customize the system for my use, but I'm not one who can speak well to this as I have yet to get authorization to upgrade beyond the free version, so I know my functionality is limited.

Reason for choosing Freedcamp

It checked all of the boxes and had the most forgiving interface.

Smartsheet was unable to manage the huge project/task load that we carried without becoming too cumbersome to use, often was broken with multiple users updating sheets, and wasn't able to provide calendaring of tasks.

### "Versatile Project Management Tool, Good Team Functionality, Affordable Pricing"

March 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

I've been using Freedcamp for a few simpler projects and it has everything you need: - Gantt charts to get a bird's eye view of your project - easy storage of passwords, access codes etc. - define tasks and subtasks - Create tasks either as a list or arrange them in a sticky like note fashion - You can extend the app with addons you can get from a built-in App Store Also it's great for collaborating with other members as it's very simple to invite external users to your projects to work together

Cons

The interface is a bit old school for my taste and the task options are quite basic out of the box. Being able to create invoices is a nice feature, but it's a bit cumbersome and unfortunately too basic for European law. Day to day features like reverse charge invoices between members of the EU are not possible to do because there doesn't seem to be any way to add text fields to invoices to include e.g. the customer's VAT number. What's also lacking is a thorough right's management. E.g. you work together with a freelancer who can set the price he is charging you, but cannot see which price you put into a custom field he doesn't have access to. Apart from that I'm quite happy about the software actually.

Thanks for posting a review. Invoicing app contains VAT ID (last field) when you set up a client. All people invited to a project with Custom Fields can access and see them unless you meant something else. If you want to clarify - please email me back Cheers, Igor

### "Easy to use and straight to the point "

August 4, 2020

5.0

I've been using freedcamp for over 3 years and set up home and my small business projects. Even inviting my parents was very easy and they didn't have problems using the software. The interface is very clear and intuitive - you get exactly the results you expect. The calendar view is very useful to see upcoming tasks at a glance. Also most of the interface is quite compact - no unneeded spaces allows to show more taks on the screen (save for mentioned "Add Task" field) Overall I'm very satisfied with the software. It has everything I need without overwhelming me with unwanted features.

Pros

\- clear layout, - ease of assigning dates, teammembers and priorities to taks, - helpful reminders - mobile app - layered task help to organize the project - intuitive to set up and use.

Cons

\- no second sorting parameter (sort by X then by Y). Unhiding completed tasks can lead to unsorted mess of a list. - sorting by progress only sorts first task list in the project, the others don't sort. - every task list features a large bar below to enter new taks. This takes to much screen real estate and prolongs the view of the project.

### "Freedcamp helps keep me on target"

August 1, 2020

4.0

I used to believe I performed a task when in reality, I didn't. With Freedcamp, I keep track of what I did and didn't yet accomplish. When I have multiple projects underway, I can track them all, and have reminders to complete what I need to do. I'd be lost without Freedcamp.

Pros

After a stroke at 56, I needed a solution to make sure I didn't miss important deadlines and tasks in my job and freelance work. Freedcamp is easy to use and fits my needs. I could easily expand it to include other people. The learning curve isn't steep, and I keep adding projects as needed so I know at any point what I need to accomplish. I love using Freedcamp and recommend it often.

Cons

I know the paid version has additional functionality, but I'd like to add start and due dates for tasks and subtasks without the fee.

Reason for choosing Freedcamp

Honestly, the free version did everything I needed, but if I decided to upgrade it wouldn't cost a fortune. At some point, I may opt to do that.

### "Freedcamp Review"

September 19, 2023

4.0

Very good project management software. Perfect value for money, but unfortunately there's no French version, so the interface is difficult for French-speaking users.

Pros

The first argument in favor of this software is certainly its price. The paid version costs less than $2. It lets you manage projects

Cons

As a French speaker, I think it's important to mention that there is no French version of the software.

### "Freedcamp has done a lot for me and I feel attached."

September 8, 2015

5.0

For the past year I've been performing an unconventional role as area manager for two movie theatres in Silicon Valley. In March of 2013 I began overseeing both locations without a conventional general manager installed at either location. In customer service and retail industries this kind of flat "start up" organizational structure is unheard of. The "boss" was always off site and the managers were expected to function as a team without any hierarchy. I knew that a key aspect of this radical experiment in re-structuring would be to empower each of the managers to act on behalf of the company while also giving them a way to communicate upstream and downstream with little effort, so that I could "see" what was going on during each shift and the upper management and floor staff could also witness the engagement and commitment of the management team. After test-driving a few social "project" services, I chose Freedcamp. In addition to the cornerstone of manager logs, I use your system for staff schedules, facility maintenance task assignments, HR, special event coordination, logging vacation time, marketing/promotions, emergency forms for police and fire, reporting grosses to studios, a wishlist where all 50 employees can voice their desires for the company, and more. Every department in my company utilizes Freedcamp for something. I was unaware my HR department was using the manager logs until they demonstrated that they were using the search function to look up employees' names and track behaviour over time in advance of disciplinary action. I didn't show them how, they just took the initiative. This was the first clue I got that I wasn't "forcing" the system--that other departments were getting easy access to more information than they had before. A third satellite location in our company is overseen by a technophobe, who has recently and vigorously adapted to the Freedcamp-based maintenance system I developed without my coaching him at all, and now he posts more than anyone else. This is final proof that what I've instituted using your software is self-sustaining, creating a much-needed flow of information within a small but disjointed company that has grown in fits and spurts since 1975. When I took on the new role a year ago, I lost six managers in one month. The strain of the "boss-less" system was too great without some additional infrastructure. Since introducing Freedcamp, my attrition rate is zero. No one wants to leave now.

### "A decent and capable product"

July 30, 2020

4.0

It has been a good experience so far. Freedcamp is a great way to store and share key documents amongst a team, as well as a great way to channel communication to avoid constant long email chains and to streamline some processes.

Pros

It gives us a good way to structure some of our projects and store files which function as a reference point for a geographically diverse team, which is great. There are a lot of good features that have the potential to help us run our organisation better, too, which we are only just starting to explore - I am confident that there is a lot more Freedcamp can do for us if we let it!

Cons

I have found it to not always be very intuitive to use. As a bit of a novice with this sort of software, setting up the right relationships for teams and team members is a bit fiddly. Some of the project structuring can also be a bit clunky. I have experienced issues with the Online Edit tool, too, which does not always seem to work.

Reason for choosing Freedcamp

We chose it initially largely because we could use it for free as a starting point to determine how we would go using such software. As the team and the tasks we wanted to do grew, we were then happy to explore upgrading to a paid service to give us a bit more power and flexbility.

### "Easy time-tracking for freelancers"

August 7, 2020

5.0

Time-tracking is super easy and the export function is very useful for further statistics.

Pros

I only use the time tracking and export function of this software and it works like a charm.

Cons

Since I only use time-tracking function it's very frustrating that every time I create a new project I have to manually disable all the ofter functions which I won't use.

Pros

Cons

### "My reasons - flexibility and a low threshold of entering"

September 20, 2015

5.0

The first thing I noticed about Freedcamp was its flexibility. Freedcamp doesn't limit the number of members in the project, or the number of projects. It has limits though by features enabled in your projects. This allows you to have a piece of mind when you create a new project. You simply know it is free for any number of participants and if you will need a paid feature ' cost is fixed and is affordable. Any extra module can be purchased separately for the project at any time. If you need Invoices for a particular project, you buy the module. If you need Issue Tracker ' also buy the required module. In this case, you only pay for the functions needed at a particular time. Project is finished and you don't need it' Simply cancel subscription. The second important aspect of the system is a low threshold of entering. It is hard to achieve, based on my evaluations of other system, but Freedcamp truly empowers my team and customers, educate them and show how such tool saves time. It allows to be more effective, work better together and gives us a competitive advantage because our journey with the client gives them new experience they buy. We just say: 'We are going to use Freedcamp. It doesn't require any special skills or special trainings'. Also, they shouldn't check Freedcamp all the time, they receive emails with all discussions and updates in tasks by email, including art work we attached. Freedcamp's basic functionality doesn't have any features aimed to specify type of business, being, in some sense, universal. In other systems, where they create vertical market PM tool (for engineers, marketers, designers etc.) ' language, UI can mislead and turn off clients making project a failure. Personally, I also like ability to add new version to my attachments anywhere in Freedcamp. In my job it's very important, because it allows not to litter a discussion or a task with dozens of copies of the same image by constantly posting minor changes. Instead, Freedcamp allows simply add a new version to an old attachment, while retaining the ability to see all previous changes in a well done interface. Of course, I don't want to say it has all I want to see, but feature set and design that exists now, and my conversations with Freedcamp team, which is always available and not only listens but reacts quickly for my personal bug reports and feature requests, leads me to believe that it will evolve to be an even better tool for me and my team.

Pros

### "Outstanding Project Management Tool"

November 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

I've tested a lot of pm's in the last decade or so, lately from new kids on the block to stablished one's, and I can say, Freedcamp is THE best investment I made in my business. When you open the tool, things just work, the flow just makes sense, and everything you need to manage a project is there. If you need more power, you can activate the add-ons, or if you have a simple project, you can deactivate them. The bug-tracker is awesome, and it was a game changer for us, when you use it with the email in feature. It's possible to set an email per project, task, subtask or the bug tracker, and have everything within one dashboard. Really awesome PM tool. My search is over!

Cons

Nothing I can point, this tool really have everything we need.

### "Hands down the best tool ever!"

June 25, 2018

Pros

I'm a huge loyal fan of Freedcamp. When my business partner brought it up to me, I was all on board for something that was a mixture of Trello + Asana. I struggled with those platforms, but Freedcamp brought it all together and gave me the good stuff. I'm so thankful for how Freedcamp has helped our business grow. Upgrade...it is worth it!

Cons

None as when I upgraded it gave me everything I needed and more! The support has been amazing as well with figuring out the little things!

July 30, 2020

4.0

In general, we really enjoy using freedcamp. Especially the support is great, and we have the feeling that the team is open for suggestions.

Pros

The kan an board feature of Freedcamp is great. What makes freedcamp unique is the way you can create a dashboard and get an overview of all your tickets in a single page.

Cons

The fact that you can only have 3 columns on the kanban board, and the lack of we sockets, you need to refresh quite often when collaborating.

We manage complicated product on boarding projects with sometimes 50 tasks, hundreds of comments and documents that we need to keep organized. This is our preferred communication tool. You receive and email every time the project is updated and can assign tasks. You get daily recaps on each board. Currently managing 23 betas using this program.

### "Review "

August 12, 2020

5.0

I am doing my best to organize my day and projects - to stay on top of it. I am looking forward to the reporting feature to recap projects or the work I've done.

Pros

I originally started using Freedcamp because it was free and was equivalent to paid project management systems. I have not used any of the upgrades yet but open to exploring. I like that it allows me to add many projects and invite people to collaborate. I usually balance 10 projects at a time and it makes quick reviews easy.

Cons

Over the years I find myself back and forth from Freedcamp to notebooks and paper calendars. I often find I would like the system to be a little more user friendly and get lost in "how do I get back to that page?" Maybe that will come with repetitive use. I am recently using it more, but still get hung up. BUT, I am grateful it is free and offers most of the same as a paid online system. I wish the app offered more, sometimes I don't use the system because I am not at a computer and avoid using the app. Maybe it is different, the analytical creators of software: everything linear. Creatives sometimes enjoy easy!

### "Freedcamp is awesome project management software! "

May 19, 2018

Free use of software which has everything needs to project management tasks and teams.

Pros

Freedcamp offers a huge amount of features and functionality within it's software including time tracking, password lockers along with the hugely effective and simply project management platform. Given alot of the main features are available on the free version it's an invaluable tool for any business, whether just starting out or a small team on a tight budget!

Cons

We had to stop using it as when enquiring about whether they were GDPR friendly they'd said at the time they were not going to be - might be a different story now.

### "It was struggle, struggle and struggle again"

July 31, 2020

2.0

See above Switching to another tool (basecamp) was something I lobbied and asked and could support myself through my organisation but the project coordinator who liked the tool was not in favour of any changes. The project is almost over, I will be happy to forget this nightmare. Please do more usability testing and make software user friendly!

Pros

The only thing I liked it that the person who implemented it seemed to enjoy all the intricacies of the tool . I can imagine that computer science background was of help to this person. Otherwise, as a user I found this the worst software package I had to use in my entire professional life.

Cons

3 years of struggle with each functionality of the tool - discussion threads, status, notifications etc. make it impossible to name one thing. I wonder whether there was any form of usability testing with new users ? I doubt it. I conquered the tool each time I needed some response from colleagues badly however it was never easy and I gave up doing an additional e-mail round to be sure the message reached the addressee.

### "Very useful yet complicated"

June 24, 2020

5.0

As I said, at first it was not so users friendly, it took quite a while to get used to it, I felt it was not so intuitive, but now we're getting more and more used to it. Still, the tutorials are very useful and sometimes we have to stop the work flow a while to watch them as part of the team work to help each other. It's been useful to communicate each other and establish responsibilities and separate them.

Pros

It has a lot of pros: adding links, uploading files, tagging workmates, alerts with e-mails, notifying, reminders, subdividing tasks.

Cons

There is no way to subdivide the sub-tasks at the calendar and tagging those sub-tasks for different people. Sometimes the sub-tasks have different schedules and the post-production has dates out of the due date (such as a follow-up date for customers or contacts). It was not so users friendly at first to get used to, not so intuitive, but now we're getting more into it.

### "Highly efficient project management for complex systems engineering projects"

January 17, 2023

5.0

Freedcamp allows Monash High Powered Rocketry to manage the development of multiple aerospace engineering projects at once, including hybrid rocket engines, and sounding rockets designed to launch to 30,000ft. As we operate at a university level, the management of these projects would be severly limited without the use of Freedcamp's excellent project management capabilities.

Pros

Freedcamp is highly user-friendly, which allows new team members to easily learn and develop proficiency in using this tool for project management at both an individual and team-wide scale. The Project Planning/Scheduling feaure makes managing complex engineering projects an efficient and streamlined process.

Cons

The Calender interface takes a little bit of time to get used to; however, once accustomed, this tool is highly valuable for tracking upcoming deadlines and milestone due dates.

### "Great free alternative to Basecamp for project management"

August 4, 2020

5.0

I use the software mostly for managing freelance software development. It has every feature I need.

Pros

Very easy to get organized by projects, with their associated tasks lists, timers, and activity records. The timers are specially useful for billing. The collaborative aspects are also good, comparable to those of Basecamp.

Cons

I have very rarely found a feature hard to find, but in such case support was very fast to answer.
